Rated at 18,000 BTU\/h and achieving 13 SEER2 efficiency, this unit operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative that meets current EPA requirements for new residential equipment. Part of the RUUD M1 series, it is sized for smaller residential loads and is typically installed by a licensed HVAC technician as the outdoor section of a split cooling system paired with an indoor air handler or coil cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis condensing unit is suited for residential split-system cooling installations where a 1.5-ton capacity meets the Manual J load calculation. The M1 series is positioned as an entry-level efficiency offering that complies with 2023 DOE SEER2 regional standards. It is commonly specified in smaller homes, additions, or single-zone applications. The R454B refrigerant charge requires technicians to be certified under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act and to use tooling compatible with mildly flammable A2L refrigerants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18,000 BTU\/h nominal cooling capacity at 1.5 tons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e13 SEER2 efficiency rating meets current DOE regional minimum standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eR454B refrigerant — lower global warming potential, A2L classified\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the RUUD M1 series for residential split-system cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutdoor condensing unit designed to pair with a compatible indoor coil or air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style residential condensing unit for split-system cooling applications.

Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before making any electrical or refrigerant connections. The unit should be mounted on a level pad with adequate clearance per the manufacturer installation instructions and local mechanical codes. Follow all applicable local codes and ASHRAE 15 safety requirements when working with A2L refrigerants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18,000 BTU\/h\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Tonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 tons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSEER2 Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/strong\u003e: R454B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: M1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RUUD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: RA13NY18AJ1NALHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RUUD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284107559218,"sku":"RA13NY18AJ1NALHP","price":2623.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309278777.png?v=1781068706","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ruud-ra13ny18aj1nalhp-condensing-unit-1-5-ton-r454b","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
